I think that is because we lived in close knit communities and we could go out to play with our friends for hours on end, kids who went to Grimesthorpe School had friends living in the Owler Lane area, Page Hall, upper and lower Grimesthorpe, and the churches and youth clubs attracted children from as far away as Firth Park, so the areas did merge in to one. Also our mums had no need to go into the town centre to shop as all their needs were to hand in the locality.

 

Yes CBB your right, Grimesthorpe and Owler Lane Schools had big catchment areas and it was safe to walk to friends houses at Page Hall and Fir Vale.

Thinking about it Bri opposite the wooker there was an house corner botham/ruthin st looked as though it had some kind of small extension built on sure it was painted a burgundy colour,think they were Johnsons.
